4 Creative insurance solutions. For your County. The National Game Insurance Scheme. Strength in numbers. In 2011 The FA set out to raise the standards of insurance and provide a uniformity of cover across the grassroots game that hadn t been seen before. In developing the required solutions, they carried out a rigorous tender process involving the leading brokers in the sport insurance market. In July 2012 Bluefin Sport were successfully appointed by The FA as the broker to deliver, what is now known as, the National Game Insurance Scheme (NGIS). The overarching objective for the NGIS has been to ensure that competitive and robust insurance products, specifically tailored to the needs of grassroots football, were made available to all. Since it s launch, the NGIS has successfully achieved these milestones, with thanks to an ever growing number of County FAs choosing to support the scheme. The numbers speak for themselves. Over 50k Amateur football teams 68% of all County FAs support the scheme

5 Read the small print. It can highlight big differences. The NGIS has given football insurance a good refresh. It s always been more than just about price. It s about creating protection that responds when needed most. We believe the NGIS policy wordings are market-leading and have the ability to ensure wider protection than many other products available. Other insurance providers may appear to be offering similar products but beneath the surface the policy wording definitions can make a big difference to how the benefits being provided can be interpreted in the event of a claim. As the trusted NGIS provider, we work closely with The FA so that you can be assured of transparency and carefully crafted policy wordings that provide clear, unambiguous protection. Deciding what suits you. To make sure your County FA and all affiliated clubs, teams & leagues have adequate and relevant insurance, our policies can be designed around your particular needs. Essentially, the NGIS provides two core covers - Legal and Personal Accident. Protection extends to cater for the ever changing landscape of grassroots football with enhancements made every season.

6 Much more than a standard insurance policy. Innovation is key. Legal liability - five covers in one unique policy. The NGIS has continually evolved to provide a wide scope of liability insurance protection for clubs, leagues and match officials. A fall on the uneven clubhouse steps, serving an undercooked burger at the club BBQ, losing personal team data from a laptop, or a claim made against a committee member for defamation of character, we ve tried hard to cater for the many scenarios that grassroots participants can be exposed to. 10m 10m 10m 10m 500k Public Employers Committee Professional Indemnity Cyber Personal accident - there s no substitute. The NGIS offers a range of policy options to cater for varying budgets. Whether it s for 11-a-side, small sided, youth or walking football, we are certain you will be impressed at how many personal accident benefits we ve managed to cram in! We offer a choice of three policy levels - Basic, Intermediate or Superior. All policies provide Life Cover as standard and benefits for serious long term injuries. As you move up the scale the list grows and will include benefits such as concussion, broken bones, miscarriage, weekly/monthly payments, counselling helpline, childcare expenses, physiotherapy, dental, hospitalisation and so much more. Basic Intermediate Superior > >

7 Just when you thought it couldn t get any better. Protection for your County FA. At no extra cost. There are a range of additional benefits made available to County FAs (CFA) that opt to support the NGIS. We have incorporated a number of meaningful benefits that can automatically be included to cover the Association: 10m 500k Public D&O 5 years Retrospective YEARS Staff/Council Personal Accident Public liability for CFA organised activities and registered match officials. Directors & officers liability (D&O) for officers, committee members, directors or trustees. (With the option to increase cover). Retrospective liability cover for CFAs that join the scheme from previously having a restrictive claims made basis policy wording. (This means that the policy covers an event that happened at any time up to 5 years before your new NGIS policy started). Personal accident cover for employees and council members whilst on CFA business. To find out more about the NGIS call or us at nationalgame@bluefinsport.co.uk or visit bluefinsport.co.uk/ngis
